Objetivo

- Design and development of thin-film semiconductor oxide gas sensors on a silicon substrate. Miniaturisation and high integration techniques will be used to achieve low production cost, large number of sensors per wafer and performance reproducibility.

- Specific development of a new generation of gas sensors by integrating them on the same chip, resulting in a monolithic multisensor array.

- Application of such gas detection microsystems into the next generation of domestic air cleaners of the Product Division of Philips DAP.

- Application of the odour recognition system to process (or quality) monitoring in the field of off-flavour and contaminant detection related to packaging.

The objective of the project is to demonstrate and implement smart microsystems for gas analysis and odour recognition based on state-of-the-art sensor technologies, data processing and analysis techniques.

The project will be strongly application driven and address two areas:
